updates on fiberglass MkI fenders, and such...

[vr612valve at yahoo.com (Adam Carroll)]

   OK, 
   
    It's not looking good. But I'll just post what was emailed to me, and also what I replied back to this particular vortex seller. Below is what he emailed me, and above his email was what I sent back. As you can see, this email will decide whether or not this guy is walking the walk or just talking smack. I am not playing with this fellow anymore; he keeps typing the same bs in different form. Sorry for the false alarm, but I was ready for some fiber fenders my damn self! We'll see after this for sure! FYI: Has anyone seen the updated pictures for the widebody kit that is being fitted for a mold in a vortex forum thread? Check the link below!

    Fab,
   
     I am extremely interested in these products that you 'offer'. The only problem is that I have a hard time justifying sending you such a large sum of money for something that neither I nor you have proof that they even exsist. I also have a hard time believing that you have no pictures, and cannot even take any pictures of something that is so 'available'-yet nobody else on the vortex has heard of. I have seen that you have sold some c/f hoods and such, but it was mostly VIS stuff right? Even then, you had pictures for those guys. 
   
     I would like a c/f hood and c/f fenders for my MkI. I would also like a c/f hood for my MkII. I have a couple of friends who would like fiberglass fenders for their MkI's. I am very sorry, but all of us agree that we'd prefer to 'see' the goods before we pay up; so to speak. You have definate, multiple sales with me, -money is not an issue, but I'm going to need some sort of guarantee. I will even fly out to you to retrieve these and drive a rental car back to the southeast if these items are 'that' camera shy. 
   
     All you have told me is that you got'em. Well I 'got' the money and I can even take pictures of it with either my camera, or one of my friends' cameras. All that I can tell you is: that I'll wait for you to find a camera and give me multiple angles and close-up shots of these products. Then you will have more than just the sales that I have mentioned, because I've got many people on the 'Scirocco List' excited about it. It is up to you. If you indeed have a rare product like this, you need to market it at least to my (pictures) standards; which in this case; is not very high. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I have lost at this game before...I will not sign-up for another season -ever. 
   
                                                                                                       sincerely,
                                                                                                       A. Carroll

  Hey whats up man. I can't answer my IM on vw vortex because I got banned for 
soliciting on the IM. Now to answer your questions. Yes I have both carbon 
fiber and fiberglass hoods and fenders. I have both mk1 and mk2 fiberglass 
and c/f. I have both fenders with turn signals and ones without. The inner 
suppors on the hood is a one peice fiberglass. There is no warrenty on my 
items, but all my items are of great quality and I usually doulble check 
everything for any defects before shipping it out. I also will put insurance 
on the item in case it gets damaged during shipping. I can't do the door 
panels or anything else. It's mostly just the hood and the fenders I carry. 
The c/f fenders will be more costly compared to the fiberglass. Let me know 
if you and others on the vortex want to place an order for the scirooco 
stuff. I also carry other fiberglass and c/f hoods for moslty all vw's and 
have sold numerous hoods with no complaints. Thanks and let me know
